A APITIABLE BACK-DowN.
Indiana Republicans Censured for Agree
ing TO the Compromise.

Indiana Republicans Censured for Agree
ing to the Compromise.
NEW YORK, January 2l.-The Tribune
to-day says: "The control of the United
States Senate for two years TO come has
not been quite sacrificed by the surrender
of the Indiana Republicans, which seems
at this distance to have been entirely in
excusable. 1t is possible, however, that
they had discovered that, on account OF
the course of four Labor members, it would
be impossible TO give valid election to
any Republican candidate without waiy-
ing the right of Lieutenant Governor
Robertson. Nothing else is perceived that
could excuse so pitiable back-down
from the strong and strictly lawful
position taken by the Republicans
of the House on Tuesday. But the
result in Indiana, whatever it may now he,
is likely to be contested, and the Senate,
by which the contest will be decided,
ought in any case to be Republican body.
Thus, in any event, the contests in New
Jersey and Indiana must be decided by q
Senate composed of thirty-eight Rcpubli-
cans, Mr.. Riddleberger included, and
thirty-seven other members, the contestant
not voting even if the Democrats should
choose Mr.. Van Wyck's successor. If he
should be reelected, but should see tit on
any question to vote with the Democrats,
they would still require another vote to
decide either of the contested cases. But
in that event the transfer of Mr.. Riddleber-
gers vote to the Democratic side OH any
uuestion-an event for which the Demo
Gratis hopc-would give them bare major
ity, provided that they should succeed in
all other cases now doubtful, and should
be allowed to count the contested vote of
one of the claimants of New jersey or Indi-
ana in order to seat the other.
at would be only natural and fitting
sequence of the impudent frauds by which
the Democrats claim two disputed seats if
they should insist upon admitting the two
fraud claimants to vote upon their own
cases. But the Republican members and
officers of the Senate have full knowledge
of the facts, and it will be their own fault
if such dishonOrablc, sharp practice is sut-
fered to succeed. The certificate of elcc-
tion, which usually gives prima tacie right
to Il seat, and therefore power to vote on
all questions until the contest has been
decided, will not carry with it any prima
lacie right whatever in case where fraud
has been so glaring and notorious rs in the
instance in question; and it is for the Re-
publican Senators to say whether persons
in no way entitled to seats shall be allow
ed to vote themselves into the places they
have tried To steal -

MISS NINA'S ALLEGED SCHEME.
How the Sheriff May be FoiIed and She
and Spies Made Happy.

HOW the SnerlH DO She
and Spies Made Happy.
CHICAGO, January 21.-An interesting
rumor has been ahoat here since last night
which seems thus far to have eluded the
Chicago press. 1t is to the effect that Miss
Van Zandt proposes to marry Spies in
spite of all opposition by means of a writ
ten contract or by proxy. 1t is said that
the idea was suggested to Miss Van Zandt
by an attorney whose name is not given.
1t is probable that Captain Black has had
something to do with the new plan, and
perhaps his busy brain originated it,
Under the marriage laws of Illinois the
ordinary form is to procure license with
conesnt of the parents or guardians if
the persons are under age. A Judge
OF the County Court, Mayor, clergy
man, or magistrate completes the marriage
Still there is nothing in the Illinois law
which prevents legal marriage by means
of written contract. 1t is all very simple.
A written contract is prepared stating the
intention of the parties to become man
and wife. In this case it will contain u
provision plainly stating that the parties
take this course because no other is open
to them. This will make the matter OF
intention more definite and conclusive.
The paper can be signed by Miss Van
Xapdt i'll the presence of one or more wit
neSses. 1t then goes to Spies by means of
his attorney, who not only obtains the sig
nature of Spies but also becomes the
witness required by law for contract
A prominent Chicago attorney who
was asked for IN opinion on
the subject this morning said: "All
the rumOrs about complicated methods of
evading Sheriff MattSOn's prohibition of
the marriage are probably without ioun-
dation. There is no difficulty in tying
the parties together in such shape rs TO re-
uuire the highest court in the State to sep
aratc them. There is no doubt that n con-
tract signed by the parties would make
them man and wife if they live together
after it was made. If Spies should he re-
leased after such contract or agreement
was made, and should live with Miss Van
| Xandt it would be u nlfllment of the re-
quirements of the law, and in my opinion
they would he rs much man and wife ~
any couple in Cook county. There is some
question as to the effect of the con-
| tract if il should not De ratified by
subsequent living together. lfthe contract
is made and signed with witnesses and
Spies is hung, Miss Van Handt could call
herself Mrs. Spies, and it is doubtful if her
right TO the name could be disproved. If
Spies had considerable fortune and Miss
Van Zandt sought to get her dover, of
course there would he fight, and if she
died and he was released there would be
trouble no doubt. hardly think the par
ties will go to such desperate lengths, how
ever, but, of course, girl who has done so
much that is peculiar, may do more"
The family and attorneys all refuse to
talk about the matter, and it is not possible
to learn how far the matter has gone.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., January 2l.-The
four PiDkerton men arrested last night for
killing Thomas Hogan, the l6-year-old boy,
were arraigncd in the Gregory Street Po-
lice Court at nine o'clock this morning.
Their names are Thomas Sheehy, Morton
Moriarty, Daniel Cahill and Samuel A.
Neff. Ex-Mayor Gilbert Collins appeared
for the prisoners and eX-Judge John A..
McGrath for the State. Detective Parsons
stated that he was directed by the Chief
to prefer charge of murder against the
four men. Counsellor Colline said that he
thought the charge should be more eN-
plicit, in view of the fact that the charge
of murder could only lie against one OF
the prisoners. Judge McGmth called
James Stewart, of No. - Madison street,
Hoboken. The Court told him To desig-
nate the man who shot Hogan. He pointed
TO Sheehy and said: That's the man"
Immediately Mayor Collins requested
that the prisoners be remanded for further
examination until he was able To confer
with them. The Judge remanded the
prisoners. An additional charge WAS pre-
lerred against Neil' of assault and battery
upon ten-year-old boy named Casey,
living on Fourteenth street, this city. a
number of witnesses were produced who
testified that Mt noon yesterday, at the
scene of the murder, they saw Netf hurl
his club at party of boys on the ice, near
the coal yards. The club struck young
Casey. Neff then drew his revolver and
pointed il at the boys. Judge Stilsing held
the prisoner in $500 bail to await the
action of the Grand Jury.

SHOCKING REVELATIONS.
How Young Girls Are Decoyed Into the
Michigan Lumber Regions.

Michigan Lumber Regions.
LANSING, MICH, January 2l.-A start
ling story of depravity and vice was laid
before the House judiciary Committee, yes
terday, by Representative Bartlett Breen,
of Menominee. Mr.. Brcen has been inves-
tigating for some time the stories of the
manner in which young girls are inveigled
from Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Louis and
Canadian cities into the lumber regions Of
the upper Peninsula A revolving state OF
things has been unearthed. There is per-
hans no other place in the country" said
Mr.. Breen, "where such state of depriv-
ity exists. In new settlements the trade In
young girls has come to be an established
business. Advertisements and cunning
devices are used in coaXing working girls
away from their homes. The girls are
kept in rough board shanties aud tents.
There are q dozen or more in each place.
4 system OF fines is in vogue by which the
poor wretches are kept constantly III debt
to the overseer. fla girl does not get
man to drink she is fined If she does
not get him to dance she is fined. Dogs
are kept to guard against the girls running
away.
"In one case, which had been fully in
vestigated, girl escaped, after being shot
in the leg, and took refuge in swamp.
The dogs were let loose on her trail and
the gang of Overseers started after her. She
slept in the swamp one night, but was
finally hunted down and taken back to the
den. l investigated the way in which
Chicago girl of undoubted reSpectabllity
was kidnapped. She was decOyed from an
honorable life by an advertisement offering
large wages in bOarding-hOuse. When
she had nearly reached her destination she
for the first time learned Of the horrible
life she was going to, and sought to turn
back, but was compelled by force to 90
on"
In order to stop this inhuman traffic,
Representative Breen and Representative
Thompson, of Delta, are urging two meas
ures. In these efforts they are seconded
by Circuit Judge Grant of HOughton, and
